New Mail Basic



Welcome to our Yahoo Basic Mail feedback forum! This is a place for you to help shape the new Yahoo Basic Mail experience. We review the most popular, feasible ideas from this forum to make positive changes to your Yahoo Mail.

Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

  1. Yahoo will not let me sign in.

    Yahoo will not let me sign in. I keep getting this message on all my E-mail accounts.
    "We've noticed some unusual account activity.
    For your safety, choose a method below to verify that it's really you signing in to this account."
    This is just wrong !
    Please let people sign into their accounts !!!
    My one account says to get my code at another account, and the other account says to get my code at the first account.
    I can not do either as I'm locked out of both !

  2. Security code problem

    My 2 Yahoo accounts. reference each other. At a new location. when they send the Code, it goes to Acct. #2, which then asks for its own code. Endless do-loop. Can't log into either. They need another method like showing a partial Tel. # and filling in the complete number. (I don't have a cell phone)

  5. Emails flip back to top of the list

    When I'm looking at my emails any action, reading then closing, deleting etc,, causes the list to flip back to the top of page one. Why is that? Why can't I just stay where I was when I read/deleted the mail? And why do there have to be pages? Does anyone at Yahoo read these comments? Where can I read the responses? Where can I read the reasons for the changes in format?

  6. GIVE ME MY OLD EMAIL FORMAT BACK!!!!

    Today was the first time I was automatically taken to the "updated" version of Yahoo Mail and quite frankly it SUCKS! Come on guys, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. I spent 5 minutes just to move 2 emails to folders, utter BS.

  10. Font and Text

    How do I change the font and text size in settings? I cannot read the existing font and text size without constantly having to change it.

    Or should I just go back to gmail which is more user friendly?

  12. Stop collecting fees from the spammers

    Today is a typical day for me, over 60 spam messages and only one actual legit email. This is overwhelming! Does Yahoo Mail want to serve actual users or junk mailers. Make a choice before I chose to delete my account.

  13. How about knocking off the robot verification and verification codes, PARTICULARLY when you reject the codes.

    Get it together with these verification checks. Every time I've tried to sign in recently, you've had some kind of verification check for robots, unusual activity, or some other nonsense. It's gotten very stale, especially when I type in your verification codes and you still insist that "something went wrong."

  17. Increase number of messages on a page to 50

    I get a lot of messages in a day. The inbox would be more manageable if I could see 50 messages on a page, especially since I like to sort them by sender so I could see what I want to read first.

  18. File attachment not working

    For the past two days, I've been trying to send a photo (yes, it is within the file size limits) and despite waiting up to two hours for the file to attach to the e-mail, it will not attach. Turns out, even trying to attach a document to an e-mail is not working either. FIX THIS!!!!!!
